Wonderfully offbeat film!
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreAMAZING MOVIE! Trashy, filthy and fun horror. Hilarious in all the right places and dark when it needs to be. The setting felt right for the time period and the gore was over the top but in the best way possible. I bought it and watched it again after I finished it the first time. The actors are all great (which is rare for independent horror) and they all play the parts really well. I went into this with medium expectations and was BLOWN AWAY. Soundtrack was really good throughout the movie, I really enjoyed the intro credits music and the random cuts of the Impalers flicking off the camera and raising hell. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys 70s exploitation at its finest. Bikers, Beer and Bigfoot could you ask for more?
View MoreThe terror that swept America has finally found a home on the far side of the Atlantic, thanks to Monster Pictures UK, who will release the movie on January 14th 2013. James Bickert's 16mm exploitation extravaganza Dear God No! is a loving homage to the classic biker, sexploitation and monster features which lit up the drive in screens across the world so many years ago. The Impalers are the most reprehensible biker gang in the Tri State area, one who have raped, robbed and butchered a path across the highways. The movie opens with the gang waking up after a night of debauchery, the ground on which they slept is strewn with beer cans, drug paraphernalia and dead nuns. This is nothing out of the ordinary for the gang who proceed to make their way towards a local hangout to have a sit down with the Satan's Own crew. The meeting goes bad and our protagonists take refuge in a reclusive cabin in the woods, home to a very stern scientist named Dr Marco (Paul McComiskey) and his seemingly meek daughter Edna (Madeline Brumby). They are in the midst of conducting experiments into the mysterious mutilation of local wildlife. Also in attendance are a young couple, one of whom is a Todd. It should be made very clear at this juncture that The Impalers hate Todds. The simple act of home invasion takes a trip into dark and terrifying places, with the tension increasing as terrible secrets are revealed. The blood is thick flowing and ever present, the witty dialogue creates more one-liners than your average stand up show and there are more gun toting girls here than Tarantino has ever dared to put in his movies. The most important thing to know about Dear God No! is the fact that it is a hilarious, depraved and genuine slice of grindhouse. It's nasty, grimy and raw and that's just what the grindhouse features were all about. Bickert manages to successfully pay tribute to the movies and aesthetic which he loves whilst simultaneously creating something very modern and unique. True fans of exploitation cinema will certainly find plenty to keep them entertained within this movie and, hopefully, will ignite some interest in a whole new generation of fans. With a fabulous one sheet by Tom Hodge and a sequel with the amazing title of Frankenstein Created Bikers in the works, this could be the beginning of a beautiful franchise.

View MoreThis movie is gruesome AND funny. A successful homage to 70s grind house - both hilarious and disturbing at the same time. Obviously, it's low budget and the acting isn't great, but it's well- suited for this film - maybe even intentional. And the dialog is a riot. Funny or not, this is still a horror movie and there were definitely a couple of scenes that made me cringe.If you are a B-Movie, Drive-In, Low-Budget, 70s, Biker or Exploitation fan, see it. It's a B-Movie's movie! Plenty of awesome crammed into this film - boobs, bikers, blood, Bigfoot, beer, Nazis, mad scientists and gore, gore, gore.And the soundtrack is great!
View MoreOver the past few years, and largely thanks to Tarantino/Rodriguez, there has been a welcome revival in Grindhouse. Movies like Planet Terror, Death Proof and Machete have reminded us just how much fun it was to recoil in horror and laugh out loud all in the same scene. Movie trends vary. We are coming to the end of the reign of the zombie flick but during its tenure we were treated to such gems as Zack Snyder's 'Dawn of the Dead', The Ford Brothers 'The Dead' and, to a lesser degree, the hugely successful Ruben Fleischer 'Zombieland'. With the revival of Grindhouse we are, once again, trawling the net for the next talking point of modern cinema. Well, look no further folks. 'Dear God No!' is 21st century Grindhouse at its most shocking and its insanely fun. James Bickert has managed, on no-doubt a very limited budget, to create a movie that is 'The Devils Rejects meets Doctor Moreau' with an originality that is stunning in itself. It is a movie that will stay with me and that is the hallmark of a fine film maker. It was a film that I expected to hate but, as the final credits rolled, I was struggling to pick out a moment that didn't work perfectly. The movie is over the top so far that I'd expect to find mist on the DVD cover. The central cast push their characters to the the limits of debauchery and there are moments in the movie where I almost felt guilty enjoying but this mix of Grindhouse and Powerhouse simply wont let you rest. A huge achievement and I trust that this gem of a film will have CULT stamped all over it when it hits the shelves. See it once, talk about it many many times. Congratulations to all involved.
